There is a compromise alternative by using a new jailbroken firmware on the bambu printers called x1 plus. I don't love bambu's response to it.

It's a Chinese controlled company but also has a reputation to protect. I believe uploads and slicing are using usa based AWS (amazon) cloud computing services. I have not taken the time to analyze this in detail, caveat emptor.

You are not legally (I'm not a lawyer! CE!) giving up your IP to bambu, but it could be stolen. This is true of any service including your laptop which Im guessing is internet connected.

Whether that makes you more comfortable with the ip risk or not is not for me to say. My ip (shop fixtures etc) is not valuable enough for me to care.

AWS has a very good security posture but that is only as good as the users of their service (bambu in this case) configure and use it.

Thanks David. I will look into the IP issue. I am definitely in print and be done category, at least that is what I think having not touched one yet.

Bambu is a recent entrant into the 3D printer world. ?People love them or hate them. ?But they have a following and seem to work well. ?I regard their printers as appliances - unbox it and just print. ?I have several friends who love them, but it¡¯s a closed system with a controversial requirement that all the designs are sliced in China - so you have no control over your IP. ?That may or may not be important to you. ?They have several sizes with different motion systems. ?The Bambu Carbon X1 is the high end of the line and is basically the P1S in an enclosure for printing things like ABS or Nylon.?

I plan to get one in May when back in the country. A friend who has been doing this for a while is recommending Bambu P1S. What do you guys think?

David,

I went to the Voron webpage and there is not much description there. ?Is there a forum where people discuss the Voron?

The MK4 looks very capable for a $1000 printer. ?Nice.

I Have watched Markforged for years but I can¡¯t justify the cost.

Thanks,

Joe

Joe, I originally bought the Prusa MK3S kit at the start of covid. ?A couple months ago I installed the upgrade kit to make it an MK4. ?The speed improvement was 4-10X depending on the part. ?I did print my own parts for the MK4 upgrade with PETG¡ªCF in that dark blue, and other than that and adding a few covers, it¡¯s a stock MK4. ?I am currently building a??from scratch, and that will be all tricked out.
